Thanksgiving Eve

Bring on the cooking (for the next two days).  It's a mixed bag of joyfully creating and back-aching working.  It's still one of my favorite family times.

Speaking of which ... pictures went well.  I chose not to wear my glasses - might have been a mistake - we'll see.  Quick, painless (once we got over the drive) and the dog was a master model (I'd expect nothing less from my perfect pup lol).  We cleaned up good :-)

Handled the "red zone" like a champ last night.  I'm a little kind-of-not-feeling-great and that helped me to stay the course.  I think November has been a go, go, go month with lots of stress.  It might be catching up to me.  I'm working hard to stay well.  Today is a rest day from working out - rest is good.  Working out is a form of physical stress so the rest day is timely.

Once the dreaded apple pies are finished today, I can relax into the rest of the cooking.  The pies are first on my list - get 'em done!

I'm still a bit moody this morning.  I had to take a breath and remind myself to be HAPPY and thankful and grateful and all those good things.  I think my mood is just "tired" disguised as a grumpy old lady.  I need to add that meditation time to my days.

I'm also feeling the weight of to-do lists ... for Thanksgiving and for December.  I need to take it one thing at a time and not get overwhelmed.  Again, overwhelmed is coming from being tired.  I need to prioritize some ME time next week.  I need some "down" to balance the "up."

Okay folks ... drinking my drinks and getting it done ... and remembering to feel the HAPPY (most important goal of the day).
